Overview NJHA and LeadingAge NJ & DE are pleased to co-host this seminar.
Did you know that 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain? Every year another 25 million Americans experience acute pain due to injury or surgery.

Attendees in this seminar will learn why the skilled nursing facility minimum data set (MDS) has a dedicated pain assessment section, how to differentiate systemic and musculoskeletal pain, how the interdisciplinary team can assess pain, integrative care techniques to treat chronic pain and how managing pain in the elderly will positively impact quality of life.
